What comes to your mind when you hear about PTSD in children? This childhood mental illness is not well known to the general public. That’s why there’s a good chance that some of your first thoughts are misconceptions.

While writing, Does My Child Have PTSD? I discovered 10 common myths and misconceptions about PTSD in children. In my latest video for Rising Above Ministries (RAM), I debunk 5 myths many people believe are true.

To watch the video click on Myths and Misconceptions about PTSD in Children, Part 1.

You will find more information about this subject in the Different Dream blog post, 10 Myths about PTSD in Children. A very in depth look at the 10 myths is included in Does My Child Have PTSD?
